Talking Rolex 24 hrs

Just checking to see if anyone here will be going this year. I'll be there (with the crew) supporting the Brumos Racing #59 GT3 team. Wouldn't mind meeting other fellow AMG ers, and drinking some beer together!

Being the 50th anniversary, the field is packed, even with some new cars including in the GT class the R8, and in the prototype class some new Vettes.

So, whos in??

My local forum is partnered up with A charity(guardianangelmotorsports.com) which is running in the #75 Stevenson Motorsports GT Camaro

Won't be going this year but hope to make it down next year

Was curious if you were Leh. I met him when he lived in Charleston. Do you work for Brumos?

Would love to make it especially to see the R8 in action, but will probably have to settle for the Sebring 12 hour event.
It would be great to get a group meet of guys from the forum hanging out enjoying the sounds and seeing those red hot rotors at night !!!
I hear it is a great event to spectate.
Watching it on TV doesn't even come close to the actual speed these guys do in these cars when you see it live. They are on the limit every single lap.
I try to concentrate that hard during just one session at Road Atlanta and I am mentally exhausted. These drivers are incredible.
Any out right favorites this year?

Having met Scott Pruett a couple of times and taken a few hot laps with him in a Lexus LFA as well I've rooting for him. Great guy, true gentleman.

Looking for a Rotary on top #70 and the 01 BMW

Back in the 80s the rotary powered cars took home everything, today we are equal to the big blocks running motors 3 times our CID.

An Audi R8 joining the group from APR Motorsports. Wish I was home in Jacksonville, would love to head down to Daytona and meet up with some guys, got some friends coming from California too. This R8 is sick, to bad it isn't quattro though due to the rules.

It's birth upon delivery





And dressed up in its business suit







And a little action
